Robinhood at 18m. Can't say I'm happy about it, that was a brand new arrow!! I shoot two arrows per target to try and avoid this! (infosec.pub)

I once bought brand new carbon fiber micro arrows (spendy). I had to resight my bow because of the difference in arrow weight and properties. I got it perfectly sighted at 20, then went and sighted it at 40 and set my single pin tape up appropriately. Then I put the bow away. The next time I shot, I noticed that my arrows sounded like they were hitting the bag a lot harder than usual, but I just kept shooting, not really thinking too hard about it. Then I went to go get my arrows and none of them were in the target bag. They sounded louder because they were all hitting the tree 20 yards behind the bag, because I forgot to set the sight back to 20 yards at the end of my last session, and didn't check when I started shooting. 4 of the arrows embedded so deeply that I had to break them to get them out. 4 brand new carbon fiber arrows...

Anyways, congratulations on your Robinhood.
